Our book, America's Youth vs. Big Government, is now on Amazon!

[BetaMale]

Hey guys, here comes a shameless plug for the book that my brother and I just got published on Amazon.com: America's Youth vs. Big Government. (http://www.amazon.com/Americas-Youth-vs-Big-Government/dp/0982775512/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280948714&sr=8-1)

We spent 8 months (3 writing; 5 editing, typesetting, proofing, designing) and hundreds of dollars into this book, with the hopes to help educate young Americans on the perils of an expansive government gone wild. We actually wrote it specifically with our friends in mind, who often times have zero grasp on the serious issues we'll be facing as we get older.

We cover topics such as: internet regulation, Social Security, Hamilton vs. Madison, campaign finance, post-secondary education, the Constitution, Federal debt, and more.

As members of the Liberty community, I would be grateful if you were to purchase a copy and read it (any reviews you'd like to give us on Amazon would be great). Though you guys here already understand the perils of big government, I feel that you will be able to appreciate the unique perspective we provide on these issues as well as the immense amount of effort (363 sources!) we put into this project. Also, we'd be thankful if you passed this onto your family and friends.

I'm aware that, as members of this community, we all are doing what we can to regain our freedoms in this country, that we all have our projects, and that its tough to spend money these days, but any support you can give us will truly be appreciated.

You guys can see the book on Amazon here (http://www.amazon.com/Americas-Youth-vs-Big-Government/dp/0982775512/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1280948714&sr=8-1)

Great job guys! Congrats!

Books usually sell better if you enable the "look inside" option.

Looks like it has promise.

Awesome thanks! They say that getting the Look Inside feature takes a few weeks for Amazon to propagate the info... should hopefully be up in the next week or so.

Much appreciated. Going through this whole process has really reopened my eyes. Headed into our project, I was losing faith in people, but the amount of folks who have supported us has truly been inspiring. This is a great movement!

Man this is great. I remember I saw you on facebook months ago and you were sounding hopeless because you hadnt been able to find a publisher. I am so proud that hard work and determination has helped you get this done. I will be buying a copy asap and will pass it on to my friends.

[dannno]

I put it in my shopping cart, have a feeling I'll be buying something else from them soon...

[libertybrewcity]

Yea, you were the one who posted a thread in this forum about our book. Thanks again!

[michaelwise]

Very nice.

[BetaMale]

7 sales so far, LOL

Good thing we're not relying on word of mouth. We sent out media packets to various talk radio shows throughout the country. We'll also most likely purchases some banner ads here and on dailypaul. Any other suggestions?

Read the preface then I immediately went to my cart to checkout. This sounds like a book every young person needs to read.

Level 2 activist : Gets outside our "echo chamber" and tries to reach new people.
Level 3 activist : Writes his own pro liberty book!

Awesome, I hope you guys like it and tell your friends. We've been trying for the last month to get some media exposure and have been finding it difficult to break through, even locally.

Thanks again for your support!

I'll buy this book, but I think that perhaps you could work out some school program where schools get a discount or students discount and perhaps put some ads in school papers.

If you want to reach the youth, you have to go where they are. Perhaps take an ad out in some skater mages, or surfing mags and even hiphop mags.

But I think that getting a relationship with school districts and working that angle could be good. Set up booths at fairs etc..

[BetaMale]

Good ideas. Also, I contacted Young American's for Liberty and didn't get a response. I was hoping that they'd take interest.

[Kotin]

bought a copy and submitted a review at the same time lol.

Who did you contact at YAL? I can see what I can do.

[WaltM]

reviewed it before reading it?

I just used their contact form on their site, I don't have any personal contacts with YAL.


sent link to LewRockwell

Awesome! I've been trying to contact to websites I follow, made media packets and physically mailed them to various talk radio around the country. Finding real contact info is tough, and I assume most media pundits get solicited with this stuff a lot.

You rock! You don't know how much it means for people to support us (and read our book). Much appreciated.

[TheBlackPeterSchiff]

/bump in support of our own.

I own the book but have yet to read it. After I read it I'll bump thread again with review.

I was wondering how sales went. You said that you advertised for it. Was it all worthwhile?

[Dr.3D]

Wow, looks like the entire book of 268 pages is up to look at on the Amazon site.

[WilliamShrugged]

Wow im glad that this was bumped (thanks baptist:) )i'll have to get this for a Christmas present for family and friends.
